What to buy? Which is better?

[Sir.Aarafoski.KHanov 85]

well ill tell u my hulls I got m1 mammoth and  m1 wasp

in small and medium maps, thunder mammoth combo is good and large maps, wasp thunder is fun :D

but the same goes with rail too,  it depends on ur choice. both of them are great guns.

[Mega-man2 0]

thx I like rail m1

[CrimsonSaviour 40]

Is it still worthwhile to get the firekit (Fire M1/M1 Wasp) set or should save up for other things (M2 stuff and fire wall kit) during a sale? I just want to spray fire at Polygon CP...

save up for m2's. That combo is almost useless at your rank. Get freeze isida or hornet m2

I am plannng of getting hunter m3. I almost fully mued my health for m2 hunter and I am going to fully mu the health for a save on crystals. I have thunder m3 and about 50k so far. I'm just wondering in future sales, should I get an elite paint or get another m3?

Another M3, for sure. Smoky M3 goes GREAT with Hunter M3. If you aren't exactly a huge fan of Smoky, I would suggest the paint Prodigi because why the heck not?! :P

No way. You are way past there and you should look towards getting m2s.

 

Long time no see tankers :P

What are your current best paints and what paints are you looking at buying?

 

M2 paints should get you far enough but any less than that I would go for a m2 paint and then save for an m3 like smoky or twins. Both of which are awesome with hunter :)

which category of paints are called M2 & M3? from which rank? :huh:

Protection paints come out after the rank the turret unlocks. Fire M3 = Commander so Zeus is at Generalissimo. It is for all the pains and turrets

 

M2 is protection from m2 turrets (3rd Lieutenant to Brigadier) 

M3 is protection from m3 turrets (Major Gen to Generalissimo)

Rico i guess, and also its a good combo with viking.

or smoky :p with mu, its a beast. u know :p

Ngl, I just think thunder m4 is better than smoky m4 :p

 

Rico I think is good :) it's decent with Viking, but best with hunter imo, which is my dilemma

[Pathfinder 1,690]

Even with critical hits, smoky only does ~43 damage per second.

 

Thunder does a consistent 40 damage per second and at a far better range.

 

Splash is such a useful quality in my opinion, much more useful than smokys Impact force. Though smokys impact is good, it doesn't let you double or tipple your damage, hit a huge range of places, and not to mention thunders impact when upgraded is not bad at all.

 

Thunder also does more damage per shot, so gains more out of the 'free first shot'

 

My conclusions: Thunder is more useful than smoky

 

I would suggest thunder to those struggling to decide between the two.

thanks :)

although I had decided to buy thunder, you made me more sure :)

[tanker538N 394]

never buy at full price ;)

gather crys and buy all if you can at major (if a sale doesnt come till then)

The only probs is ... with 50% sake it would cost me 120k xD

[Pathfinder 1,690]

thanks :)

No worries :) there's also a myth that smoky beats thunder within smoky's range, a myth i wiki bust this upcoming newspaper issue

[LeIouch_Vi_Britannia 6,163]

so?

I want to rank up and buy hunter thunder(its 0 right now) and shaft M2)  costing 170k

 

I have only 100k and I so want to just buy them at major :)

[Pathfinder 1,690]

Always at least 50%, it's worth the wait

[airfixfw 13]

Should I get Dirty, or Tundra, or Corrosion? I have 50k Crystals, and am saving up for a decent paint, as I am using Lead right now... :( I was leaning towards Corrosion,as I was a Shafter, but then I discovered M1 Rail <3 so now leaning towards Tundra.

Spending 30-40k on a paint which you will not use once you get better isn't worth the inventment imo :) you'll get far more out weapon/hull upgrades in both the short and the long run!

corrosion has low protection so its not much useful when you rank up, dirty has good shaft protection

 

but its low rail protection doesnt help you against the over-growing number of railers :)

 

so I suggest you buy tundra, as its very good against rails, (my M1 hunter gets desroyed by 3 M2 rail shots

and sometimes 2 M3 shots :) )

ik that :( but i dnt have the ability to get a m4 thunder, so its smoky for me :( and few tanker use protection against it..

[Pathfinder 1,690]

Well, as I have m4 thunder already, I won't be getting Smoky :)

 

So, I think Rico will be the one I'll get, unless other opinions?

 

THe original question was rico, fire, or freeze at m4?

Edited January 23, 2015 by Pathfinder

[SmokyPro.5000 58]

thunder m1 or rail m1? i usually go to CTF/TDM. Sometimes DM. I am using dictator m1 with those turrets and when i see others using thunder m1 n dictator m1 it just makes me think again n again... rail or thunder... PLZ HELP.

[r_siddu0 0]

Viking m1 or Dictator m1? with thunder m1
